Fundamental Soccer
The players will be divided into
groups by size or skill level. Each
group will receive individual
attention by all the coaches on a
rotational basis. Each soccer
activity will be a combination of
soccer skills as well as soccer
tactics. These activities will also
stress health, physical fitness and
self-motivation.

Simple things make a difference. In soccer, two of the most important
elements of successful offense require neither skill nor tactical
sophistication--staying spread out and having good vision. There
is nothing as simple, yet more important, to the success of a soccer
team than good vision. By vision we mean the personal habit of constantly
scrutinizing the soccer field to get the big picture.
|
 |
| Soccer players should look over the entire
field approximately every five seconds. How do we develop players
with vision? First, we develop players' skill. A player that is a
slave to the ball can't be looking around the field. The habit of
looking before the ball is received should be encouraged. Players
should become very familiar with the phrase: "DON'T BE A BALL WATCHER!"
